I might add that assuming you have braces, PEP 7 would want you to format it as
if (cond) { statement; } else { morestuff; }
Running grep -B1 else Objects/*c shows that we've happily lived with a mixture of styles for a very long time.
ISTM, our committers have had good instincts about when braces add clarity and when they add clutter.
If Nick pushes through an always-use-braces mandate, A LOT of code will need to be changed.
